Hello Hello 👋 👋

And welcome back to week 8 of the Good News-letter!

I was a bit busy this weekend and last week, so I had to type this up today. I hope you will forgive the briefer newsletter and can expect a longer one next week!

Today's letter has a few highlights that I was able to spot over the last week. I hope some of them will tickle your fancy and give you a smile to start your week.

As always, I hope you have a great start to your week!

Anti-Aging?? 👴🏻➡️👦🏼

This one is a bit odd, and honestly not sure what to believe. The laptop in the main picture looks suspicious, but if it's real, this is pretty darn cool. A man lived under pressure for 93 days, and all medical indications show him getting younger!

Man’s Biological Clock Set Back 10 Years After 93 Days Living Under the Ocean in a Research Station

Joe Dituri had experienced a 20% growth in the lengths of his telomeres, and a 1,000% increase in steam cell count.

Mushrooms for climate change 🍄

A new study has shown that Fungi are an effective way to store carbon emitted by burning fossil fuels. Scientists are scrambling to make this an effective solution to the climate crisis we are facing.

Hidden carbon: Fungi and their 'necromass' absorb one-third of the carbon emitted by burning fossil fuels every year

Beneath our feet, remarkable networks of fungal filaments stretch out in all directions. These mycorrhizal fungi live in partnership with plants, offering nutrients, water and protection from pests in exchange for carbon-rich sugars.

No police in this neighbourhood 🚫👮♂️

I realize that this might be a touchy subject, so I'll leave it to the reader to make your own conclusions. However, it is a fascinating trial that occurs in Brooklyn, and well worth a read no matter your opinion.

In experiment, Brooklyn neighborhood polices itself for five days

A brief encounter encapsulated a simple yet unorthodox concept that is at the heart of a bold experiment organizers believe could redefine law-enforcement in New York: letting neighbors, not the police, respond to low-level street crime.

And so I guess that's it. Thanks for tagging along this week. I'm sorry it was a short one, but I will come back with a bang next week I promise!

Have a wonderful Monday-Friday, and then it's the weekend! Take care 👋
